I rescued my Chiweenie (Dobby) two years ago, and have loved every minute of having him. Most Sundays, you can find me running with the dogs at my local animal shelter. My time working with shelter dogs has taught me to be patient, take charge of situations, and how to socialize with different dog breeds. Apart from my volunteering, I had a dog throughout my childhood and have always been a lover of dogs. Previously, I have helped friends and family by walking and boarding their dogs while they have been out of town. I can't wait to meet your best friend!

Hi there! My name is Kathryn. I am a passionate dog lover of all breeds and sizes. I pet sit for friends and I also have a very spoiled puglier named Jackson at home. I would be more than happy to give your furry friend the attention and exercise you wish you could! Go on, ask a dog how's life and they'll most likely answer "ruff!"
